7th Birthday Fun

Big man had a great day for his 7th birthday.  We packed it full with 2 soccer games, opening presents, hitting King's Dominion and having his first friend over for a sleepover.  Let's just say everyone was asleep by the time the sleepover actually started.

We began the morning with Erin's soccer game and followed it up with heading back home to open family presents.  Jeff was excited to get a new Harry Potter Lego set as well as some new Star Wars toys and an Angry Birds t-shirt.

Afterwards we headed back to the soccer fields for Jeff's game.  He played hard and had a great time.  He invited a good friend to meet up with us at the end of the game to head out to King's Dominion.  The general plan was to get there later in the afternoon, but hang out until closing at 9ish.

Of course when we arrived there was a huge downpour sitting over the park.  We waited out for an hour or so with Jeff feeling pretty upset.  His buddy and Erin enjoyed running around in the rain and getting soaking wet.  We finally braved the drops and hit up one of the nearby shows.  By the time it was over the rain had mostly stopped and some of the rides had opened.  As the evening moved on, more rides opened.  Best thing about the rain was that the lines in the park were virtually nonexistent.  We hung out until well after dark and really had a blast.

By the time we were half way home, everyone was sound asleep in the back of the van.  We plopped everyone into beds and the sleepover was well on its way.  The boys woke up the next morning and played around the house for the next few hours.

So my big boy had a fantastic birthday weekend!
